Undercroft was originally released for pocket pc, but the iPhone version comes with completely redone interface optimized for iPhone and enhanced gameplay with many new features not included in the original version. Players lead a party of adventurers through haunted tombs, deep forests, fiery pits or snowy mountains. They fight hordes of beasts and magical creatures, solve mysterious riddles and fulfil dozens of tasks in adventure-game style. Features: - Create your own party of four heroes, or let the game create random party for quick play. - 5 classes: warriors, mages, priests, summoners and assassins. - Automap. - 30+ hours of gameplay with great replay value. - More than 700 items. *** Betatesting *** UPDATE: We have enough iPhone betatesters now, thanks to all for support! Right now we are looking for betatesters. We would like to find from 5 to 10 betatesters, who will help us to polish the game. But before contacting us, please note that we are looking for dungeons RPG fans, who are able to test core gameplay, ideally somebody who has experience with old school RPGs like EOB, Dungeon Master or similar title We are not looking for testers, who will play for 20 minutes and then tell us that the the game is good/bad. We want each tester to select some party combination so we can compare how the game is playable with different classes. The betatesting will be organized on Rake in Grass forums, so each tester will be able to see bugs reported by other testers etc. We expect betatesting to be finished withing two weeks, so the game can be prepared for release at the end of September. If you want to participate, please write me PM. *** Video and screenshots **** This video was grabbed from the developer's version on PC because we had problems with video quality of our camera when playing on device, but the game plays the same on the device: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZIN-_8JJbA [hqyoutube]oZIN-_8JJbA[/hqyoutube] And some new screenshots: If you want to stay informed about this game, you can follow us on twitter or facebook.
Wow, looks impressive! PM me if you need a reviewer for this one. You can search the review forum for my review style. Or if you still need testers.
PM sent. Anyone else here play Eye of the Beholder or Dungeon Master II on the Sega CD? Think I've managed to play Eye of the Beholder on 4 platforms now, PC, Sega CD, SNES and GBA. GBA version is the most different with battles played out tactically...
I want to to beat test your game, i played alot of rpgs on the nintendo 64 and one of my favs is Oblivion( that game is not on n 64 though )
This looks great! I played EoB2 and Wizardry 8 on PC and would absolutely love to have a similar game for my iTouch. Would love to beta-test it too, I have some free time in the next couple of weeks.
I have send PMs with more info to all who responded on betatesting, we have enough iPhone betatesters now. Thanks!

I've been looking forward to this one ever since I saw the announcement of the port on their website. I've been looking for an old-school type RPG and only Quest comes close so far, but I'm not a big fan of real-time battles. This is much more up my alley.
Just small note to betatesters, I was preparing beta version today, but (as usual) I have just found two serious bugs in the build, and because its 2am here now, I will fix them and prepare the build tomorrow, I promise
Note that there are five classes, but each class can be developed in several ways, for example summoner focused on shapeshifting and combat in beast form...Some classes, like assassin specialized in unarmed combat, were not much tested yet so they may have tough times fighting through the game
